A cheese slice is 99 cents again at 99 Cent Pizza on 14th Street

The price for a cheese slice is back to 99 cents now at 99 Cent Pizza, 246 E. 14th St. between Second Avenue and Third Avenue. 

Workers switched the sign from $1.50 to 99 cents back on Monday. 

Like many other bargain joints around the city, management — citing an increase in costs on everything from flour to napkins — increased the price by 51 cents in late 2021/early 2022. 

This move comes days after the 2 Bros. outpost on St. Mark's Place raised the price of their cheese slice from $1 to $1.50... and before the new 99-cent joint opens on 14th Street just east of First Avenue (Updated: Certified open today, per Edmund John Dunn.)

Do we hear 98 cents from any of the other discount slicerias? 

New York Sal's Pizza bringing slices to 14th Street

Signage for New York Sal's Pizza arrived late last week at 536 E. 14th St. between Avenue A and Avenue B. (Thanks to Michael Paul for the photo!)

The signage is identical to the New York Sal's Pizza up on 10th Avenue in Hell's Kitchen. Not sure at the moment if this will be a second location or if they are relocating. (Going with new location!) Any slice connoisseurs know anything about New York Sal's?

This will mark the return of a pizzeria with Sal's in the name for the East Village ... going back to the Sal's on Avenue A (RIP 2012 after a long tenure in two different locations ... and not to be confused with the also-closed Fat Sal's on Avenue A).

Taking the last slice
